FAQ

Ever been in a workout and just felt unmotivated? Ever found the motivation to get to the gym but didn't know the right routine or couldn't find the right music? Or maybe you're brand new and don’t know where to start or how to begin? You're not alone. That’s how we felt, too. Welcome to BMF, a place where you’ll never have to worry about the equipment, routine, or music. We take care of everything, so you don't have to.


We are the first and only studio in the world to employ a neuroscience method called Brain Entrainment. By synchronizing the workout with the music, lights, and movement, we're able to entrain your brain into a beta brain wave state (high arousal state) and start a cascade reaction of several neurochemicals that are associated with the motivation, reward, and pleasure circuits of your brain. These feel-good substances are Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins (aka DOSE). By lifting your dopamine, you'll experience powerful motivation and excitement to work out. Plus, dopamine shifts your perception of time, so a 45-minute workout will feel like 10 minutes. Oxytocin is the love drug, so our workout will feel like a shared experience and will draw you into our community. Serotonin will make you feel focused, calm, emotionally stable, and happy. Endorphins have morphine-like effects, so you'll feel a euphoric high (aka "runner's high").


By engaging with these neuro-circuits regularly, your brain will gradually adapt to enjoy exercising at BMF. Pair that with our personalized 1-on-1 coaching to tailor our group fitness sessions to your goals and body, and find consistency and results faster with us than with other programs.

Our 45-minute instructor-led classes are based on rounds of cardio on the treadmills and strength training on the floor, also known as HIIT (high-intensity interval training). HIIT basically means you alternate between going hard and then taking a break, on repeat. A typical round lasts anywhere from about 6-12 minutes, when you'll switch stations between the tread and the floor, depending on where you started.

You'll be walking, jogging, and running for the treadmill rounds, depending on what feels good to you. Can't or don't like to run? You aren't alone. Many of our members actually prefer to skip the tread portion entirely and instead choose one of our dedicated "double-floor” spots or stationary bikes (see below: What if I don’t like to run?)

Our trainers provide suggestions for the strength portion of the rounds, but YOU choose the weight and pace (see more on this below: Can I take a BMF class if I have no experience?).

Every day is a new and unique workout, but all are designed to be easy to follow with traditional movements and exercises you've either seen or done before. And because everyone is doing the same thing at the same time, you'll never feel lost or confused. At BMF, we celebrate the power of unity, ensuring that every member feels an undeniable sense of inclusion and shared achievement through working together.

YES. ABSOLUTELY. They're perfect for beginners, athletes, and everyone in between because everything is centered around time rather than reps or sets.

A seasoned athlete may use heavy weights, do more reps, and take fewer rests, whereas a beginner may use only body weight, do fewer reps, and rest frequently. And that's not only welcomed but encouraged! Although the trainers offer guidance, the program is set up so you can choose your weight and tempo. Everything is timed and synchronized to the music, so everyone is doing the same thing simultaneously, making it easy to follow along and imitate what others are doing.

Our workouts, playlist, and light show change DAILY but are on repeat for the entire day. So, whether you do the 5 am or the 5 pm, the experience is exactly the same for that day. The next day is a different workout and show.

Week over week, we follow a consistent structure so you can better plan your workouts and ensure a balanced program catering to your needs:

Monday = Upper Body Push/Pull
Tuesdays = Booty Tuesday
Wednesdays = Full-Body Core
Thursday = Upper Body Accessory
Friday = Lower Body Dynamic
Saturday = Full Body
Sunday = Full Body (Circuits)

We employ this ideal strategy because it hits all the body parts but with built-in rest days, so you don't overwork anything. Arms sore from Monday's workout? No problem, Tuesday is lower body day! You can be more consistent day after day without overdoing it, as consistency is the key to making progress and getting the results you want.

Yes, please arrive at least 15 minutes early so we can give you a quick orientation to the workout room, the equipment, and your trainer. Taking a few moments before class to take it all in and make some new friends will result in a fantastic first-time experience!

We make it easy for you to simply show up! You only need to bring water and exercise clothes, such as a breathable top, comfortable shorts or leggings, and sneakers. We provide complimentary towel service as well as everything else you could want or need: a smoothie bar, grab-and-go snacks, and spa-like locker rooms stocked with vegan body products, hair ties, tampons, antiperspirant, and more!

We get it. Not everyone wants to or can run. We have six dedicated double-floor spots and two stationary bikes, so no worries. The term "double-floor" means you will not switch sides between the treads and the floor. You'll stay put and repeat the strength-training round. You can also get some cardio by switching to one of the bikes. Many members prefer this format over the traditional tread and floor format. These are very popular spots that sell out quickly.

Of course! We have modifications for virtually every exercise, which the trainer will provide and demonstrate on repeat many times during the class. Need specific guidance based on your particular limitation? No problem! Arrive a few minutes early and talk to your trainer. That way, they can better understand and cater to your needs. We want you to get a good workout in, so just talk to us, and we'll modify anything and everything to make that happen for you!

It depends on your home studio location, so check the location-specific schedule, but we try to have class times that are super convenient for everyone. Generally speaking, we offer prime-time classes for the bookends–early morning and evening, and a noontime lunch class, and then fill in the other hours as demand dictates. For example, at our Plano studio, we offer morning classes at 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 am; a noon class; and evening classes at 5, 6, and 7 pm. Saturdays are 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 am, and Sundays are 9 and 11 am.

If your studio is new (like our Fort Worth studio), there may not be as many classes on the roster yet, but we'll add them as quickly as possible as the demand grows. Please let us know if there is a specific class time you'd like that we don't offer! We definitely factor that information in when deciding what class times to add!

Individuals must be at least 18 years old to participate. However, minors aged 14-17 can join if a parent signs a waiver and remains on the premises.
